Totally.
Well, let me just, I want to go back for a minute, Steve, because I've wanted to talk to you about this for a long time.
I have been MAGA and I've been a Republican long before I represented President Trump.
I was the only, one of the few lawyers that stood up to represent Paul Manafort in New York.
years before I represented President Trump.
I represented Igor Fruman in the lawfare against him in SDNY, and then obviously Boris, and then President Trump.
So the narrative that I just became MAGA, just became Republican, is one spread by the New York Times and Maggie Haberman, and so we should quash that because it's completely false.
Now, you are totally right.
You could not be more right, Steve, that
that we have a talent problem because people are still afraid to come work at DOJ.
There are still patriots that are lawyers around this country, and I'm sure they want to come.
But whether it's their mentors, whether it's organizations that aren't encouraging them to do it, you're right.
Like when Jack Smith was called to be the special counsel, he got 100 resumes day one.
All right.
I go everywhere I speak.
I beg young lawyers.
I beg lawyers who are, whether they're district attorneys, whether they're just out of law school, just out of clerkships, to take a chance and come stand for what's right and stand for America and stand for justice.
And I'll say it to you right now.
Lawyers that want to come work at DOJ or work at our U.S.
Attorney's offices, just email us and let us know because you hit the nail right on the head when you said that because it's easy for lawyers
